Is there a file named `Pulumi.yaml` in the root of your project? If so, could you `cat Pulumi.yaml` and paste it here?

No, I've not got as far as trying to create a project. My understanding was that the steps in <https://pulumi.io/install/azure.html> were just preliminary steps involved in the initial configuration of Pulumi for Azure (as the title of the page hints quite strongly!)

Ah, you configure it on a per-project basis

(At least, I think that’s true, I’ve not tried the Azure provider for anything)

Yes, I think you configure this on a per-project basis

Which language are you intending to use to write your program?

I think you can just create the `Pulumi.yaml` file with content like this:

```
name: some-descriptive-name
description: Some Description
runtime: go
```

Could you tell me what led you to suggest that it should be done on a per-project basis? I don't disbelieve you, but I couldn't find any documentation to suggest this.

Prior knowledge of how the Terraform provider needs to be configured, and of what `pulumi config` does.

Okay cool! I'll give that a go. Thanks for your help again!

I’m not 100% certain I’m correct, but have a good idea I am.

I'm not at double figures yet when it comes to certainty scores :wink:

Ah whoops, <@UB8A66MPS> is correct, and I can see how our docs are misleading here -- we sometimes say "configure your provider" before even creating the project. There are ways to do machine-wide configuration, like using the envvars, in which case there's no dependency. But we will clarify this! cc <@UB3BGTV63>

Yep - we’ll clarify this in docs - thanks for calling this out <@UBVNVQVCK>.
